Unfortunately our trip was cancelled due to a national holiday that caused the roads & location to be busy preventing us from having a proper experience. However, the company was very good about letting us know that it would not be worth our money and we would have spent most time in traffic ( like they had the day prior) and offered a full refund and additional other opportunities in the region that would be better suited for that day. When we go back we will definitely book it again. As anyone willing to give good customer service for free just give even better when being paid!

Emanuel, captain Jo and Filipe were excellent, fun, safe, and respectful guides offering much knowledge and consideration on a FUN filled excursion! The people in Costa Rica are beautifully kind and this group of young men exemplified that characteristic! The food was delicious and safety was a top priority. Thank you for a great time!!

We had a great time with Marcos and Isabella who are the owners. They were very courteous, pleasant, and professional. They shared with us the history of all the islands and about the marine life in the area. They provided us with a delicious meal with drinks and snacks. It was all fun and smiles.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR YOUR TOUR! Our guide and chef were excellent, but the tour itself was a huge disappointment. I originally booked for Friday, but the operator canceled less than 12 hours beforehand via text due to low numbers. No alternative arrangements were offered, and I was lucky to even see the message as my phone was in airplane mode. I had to rearrange my trip and practically beg to be accommodated on Saturday instead. Even then, the replacement tour only went to Isla Tortuga — none of the other advertised stops (Tarcoles Bridge, Puntarenas Lighthouse, Islas Negritos, Gulf of Nicoya) were included. I paid for a full multi-stop adventure and got only a single destination. Beautiful island, but not what was sold. I asked only for a partial refund, yet the tour company has ghosted me. Viator was no help either — they showed no empathy and simply sided with the operator, which makes me question how carefully they vet their partners. Next time, I’d rather book directly with local operators.

Trip was amazing Veronica our host was very easy going n went above n beyond to make experience memorable! We seen spider monkeys(feed them fruits), whales, dolphins, turtles, peacocks, n wild boar snatching ppl unattended food on the beach. It's an all day trip so make sure you're well rested, wear comfy clothing, hats, n lotttt of sunscreen. BYOB n snack although decent lunch is serve complimentary. small intimate group trip my family of 4 were paired with family of 8 and another group of 4 and that basically max capacity for that boat. Although small boat you get a wonderful experience. Thanks again for the wonderful memories pura vida🇨🇷🍻

This tour was great. The operator provided everything mentioned in the description and took us to great spots to see whales, dolphins, and spider monkeys. The guide, Veronica, was so nice and professional. I booked this tour because one of my kids wanted to do it, but I wasn't wild about being gone all day. But I'm glad we did this. The day actually went quickly with the beautiful boat ride, sights, and time at the beach. Also, we were picked up on time, and the driver was waiting upon our return. Regarding the island, bring water shoes because there are a LOT of sharp shells in the water. The island is a tourist trap, because you have to pay $1 for the bathroom and $10 to rent a chair unless those are included in your tour cost. But anyone who doesn't expect tourist traps in areas heavy with tourists is naive. I avoided either fee by going to the bathroom before we left port and sitting at the picnic table under the pavilion assigned to our tour operator. I think each tour operator gets an assigned area. The food was delicious. Costa Rica has the most tender and moist chicken I've ever had. So, take this tour with this operator, and you won't be disappointed.
